Epic Soundtracks was born on March 23rd 1959 and died on November 5th 1997. He was thirty-seven years old at the time of his death. Much speculation has been made of the manner of his passing. Suicide, drug overdose, et cetera. None of these can be accepted as being the correct cause of death. Simply the answer is that we just don't know why he died. We probably never will know.
I do know that over the past 6 months or so of his life he had been depressed about his last girlfriend. He had been looking forward to her return from the Caribbean-a few days before she was supposed to return she'd telephoned him and told him that she wasn't coming back-why I don't know. But then Epic always got depressed about ex-girlfriends. This was part of his character. One of the last things I remember him asking me was, "Don't you get depressed." I replied that I didn't. His comment was that he couldn't understand that.
